The Easee One 10523 is a 7.4kW single-phase socketed EV charger for UK home charging. Designed for domestic properties, it gives drivers a compact untethered charge point with app control, RFID/NFC access control, Wi-Fi 2.4GHz connectivity and built-in LTE Cat M1 eSIM connectivity. The Type 2 socket lets the user choose the cable length that suits the parking position, while the permanent cable lock can hold a cable in place when the owner wants a tethered-style daily routine. Charging output is fully dynamic from 1.4kW to 7.4kW, matching 6A to 32A on a 230V single-phase supply. For installers, the key appeal is the safety and compliance package: integrated RCD protection, broken PEN lead protection, overload protection, temperature monitoring, IP54 protection and compliance with the Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021.

How does socketed Easee One charging work?

A Type 2 socket gives the customer cable flexibility without changing the charger. Drivers can use a short cable where the vehicle parks close to the wall, or a longer cable where the bay, driveway or visitor position changes. For households that may change vehicle later, socketed charging avoids tying the installation to one fixed lead length.

Cable locking is handled through the Easee App. The owner can lock a Type 2 cable permanently in the socket to create a tethered-style setup, then unlock it again when the cable needs to travel with the vehicle. That makes the unit useful for customers who are undecided between tethered and untethered charging, or where the installer wants one stock item that can cover both daily-use preferences.

The charger automatically detects the vehicle requirement and adjusts charging speed according to available current. On a correctly specified single-phase supply, output ranges from 1.4kW to 7.4kW, which covers low-current controlled charging as well as full 32A home charging. The connection point is a Type 2 socket to IEC 62196-2, so it suits standard Type 2 charging leads used by current UK EVs.

How do Wi-Fi, LTE and app control help?

Connectivity is built around Wi-Fi 2.4GHz b/g/n, an integrated LTE Cat M1 eSIM, Easee LinkRF, OCPP 1.6 and Open API support. For a domestic customer, the practical result is control and monitoring through the Easee App rather than a charger that only works as a local plug-in device. For installers, having Wi-Fi and cellular LTE available reduces the risk of the finished installation relying on one communication path only.

The Easee App provides charger control and monitoring, while the local Wi-Fi interface gives another access route. Built-in RFID/NFC access control is useful where the charger is mounted on a visible driveway, shared parking area or rental property. The owner can restrict charging access without adding a separate external key switch or enclosure.

Easee Smart Charging supports fixed tariffs, time-of-use tariffs and some smart tariffs such as Octopus Agile. Intelligent Octopus Go and OVO Charge Anytime Add On are not fully supported in Easee Smart Charging, so those customers should check the current tariff setup before relying on automated tariff integration. Standard weekly scheduling and delayed start remain useful for customers who simply want charging to happen inside a cheaper overnight window.

What protection is built into Easee One?

For Easee One 10523 installations, the built-in protection set is one of the main reasons to specify the unit. Integrated RCD protection covers AC 30mA and DC 6mA earth fault detection, while integrated broken PEN lead protection is stated to BS 7671:2018/A1:2020. The manufacturer also lists built-in ground fault detection, temperature monitoring, overload protection, theft protection, insulation class I and overvoltage category III.

Broken PEN protection removes the need for a separate earth rod where the installation design and local requirements allow use of the integrated device. That can save time on domestic PME installations, particularly where the charge point position, ground conditions or finished landscaping make rod placement awkward. The charger must still be installed, repaired and serviced by an authorised electrician, with the installer responsible for applying the relevant local and national electrical requirements.

The enclosure is rated IP54, while the backplate is IP22 without its cover. Impact resistance is IK10, which matters on front-of-house and driveway installations where the unit may be exposed to daily handling and minor knocks. The 1.5kg body and 256mm x 193mm x 106mm dimensions make it a compact wall-mounted option within the Easee charging range.

How does load balancing work on one circuit?

Up to three Easee One chargers can be installed on the same circuit, with integrated wireless communication handling local load distribution. That is useful for households with more than one EV, annex parking, small shared domestic settings or sites where a second charger may be added later. The automatic queuing system helps share available capacity instead of letting all chargers demand full output at the same time.

Easee LinkRF supports communication between chargers and between the charger and an Equalizer. When the Easee Equalizer is specified, the system can adjust charging speed based on available current. That keeps EV charging aligned with the building supply rather than treating the charge point as an isolated load.

Planning still matters. The installer needs the site location, operator details if applicable, main fuse size, charging circuit fuse size and Wi-Fi information when creating the charging site in the Installer App. The charger backplate stores site information on an NFC chip, then the Chargeberry reads that information when fitted to the backplate.

Can Easee One work with solar and tariffs?

Solar charging support is available when the correct Easee Equalizer is included. The manufacturer marks solar generation charging, automatic adjustment based on available current and automatic phase balancing as functions that require the Equalizer. For a solar home, that means the charger can be planned as part of a wider energy setup rather than as a standalone socket on the wall.

Tariff use should be specified carefully. Easee Smart Charging can create schedules around supported tariff information, including time-of-use tariffs and some smart tariffs such as Octopus Agile. Where the customer uses a tariff that is not fully supported, the weekly schedule or delayed start function can still be used to place charging inside the chosen overnight window.

Customers comparing smart chargers often ask whether the charger itself can optimise every tariff automatically. The safer buying advice is to match the charger, vehicle, energy supplier and tariff before promising automated savings. For Easee One, the verified position is app-based control, scheduling, smart charging support for supported tariffs, and solar charging support with the Equalizer accessory.

How does it compare with Easee Charge?

Easee One is the domestic UK model for single-phase home charging up to 7.4kW. Easee Charge is the sibling for multi-dwelling and commercial settings, with charging up to 7.4kW on single-phase and up to 22kW on three-phase TN supplies. Both use a Type 2 socket, app control, RFID/NFC access, LTE Cat M1 connectivity and Easee LinkRF, but the buying use case is different.

Choose the domestic unit for a UK home with a single-phase supply, one or a small number of chargers, and a customer who wants a compact socketed wall unit. Choose the commercial sibling where the site needs three-phase charging, larger multi-charger expansion or a product positioned for MDUs and commercial charging locations. A standard single-phase home will not gain a 22kW charging output from a three-phase charger unless the electrical supply and vehicle both support it.

Accessory planning also differs by site. Domestic installations may focus on the Equalizer, RFID keys and charging cables, while commercial or shared settings may need a wider charging infrastructure plan and operator decisions. Keeping that distinction clear avoids selling a home customer a product sized for a site requirement they do not have.

Which accessories should installers consider?

A socketed charger needs a compatible Type 2 charging cable unless the customer already owns one. Cable length should be chosen around the parking position rather than the wall location alone, especially where the vehicle may reverse in one day and drive in the next. LAMPS also lists EV cabling for installers planning the supply run and data requirements around the finished charging position.

RFID access can be extended with Easee Key tags where a household, landlord or shared user group wants simple controlled access. The built-in RFID/NFC reader means the reader hardware is already in the charger, so the tags become the user credential rather than a separate access-control device.

For solar charging support or dynamic building load balancing, specify the appropriate Easee Equalizer variant for the metering arrangement. The product sheet states that the Equalizer is required for solar charging support and automatic adjustment based on available current. Ordering the charger without the required accessory may leave the customer with a capable wall unit but without the energy-management function they expected.
